Only Dick knows for sure if he hates women, he might not even know himself but I think Dick is just one of those people who aren't nice. He's jaded to me.

I don't think Dick hates or dislikes women. I think he is angered by people that don't agree with him and calls them out on it. He's pretty much a bully and goes on and on until he has people cowering or in tears. I wouldn't want to be around someone like that.

I don't think one can equate increasing age with maturity (at least in the sense we are talking about it) beyond the age of 21 (or even less). A person's maturity depends on many things. So far (IMO) the Houseguest that has shown the greatest maturity is Jessica and she is 21.

Jimmer, you don't believe that Dick "is old enough to know better" in reference to the way he behaves towards women? That is what started this whole age/maturity discussion.

I agree that Dick is old enough to know better. But I would have said the same thing if he was 21 and people keep mentioning the fact that he is 44 as if it is significant. How old should a guy be before he knows how to behave toward other people?

As some remained unconvinced that Dick is abusive to women I remain convinced that he is. And as stated by others there is nothing that will change my mind that he isn't an abuser. To me the verbal has been proven but as of yet the physical has not. None the less I do enjoy debating with everyone that has a different opinion than mine I do enjoy these discussions.

The only people in my own personal life that have acted, talked and ranted like Dick have been abusive men. I don't know any man that behaves like him that is not. So in this I base my opinion.

Jimmer, I agree, 21 is is enough to know better. Dick is over twice that age. "How old should a guy be before he knows how to behave toward other people?" A lot younger than 44! That was the point that got sidetracked by the remark that "age does not imply maturity". If age didn't imply maturity, the phrase "He's old enough to know better" wouldn't make any sense and everyone would be asking "What does that mean?"

I agree but I'm not sure that increasing age beyond a certain point automatically equates to wisdom and maturity. For example, I can think of a few old guys that both you and I disagree with.

If a child (of any age, including 7) at my elementary school behaved towards another person the way Dick behaves, he would probably be suspended for a period of time and interventions put in place upon his return. (and if the behavior continued after repeated interventions he would most likely then be evaluated for an emotional/behavioral disorder and the appropriateness of alternative placement - i.e. removing him/her from the general population and helping them learn how to behave in a socially appropriate manner).
